GREAT HARRISON MEETING. At a moeliwr of the friends of General VM H. HAltltliSON, held in the Court House in Woostcr, on Saturday the Mthday of February Qeneral Rkasin Hhall was called to tho Chair John Hughes, Mbi.chkii Uaiim and lluuii Nor ton, I2sqrs.,were chosen Assistants, and Chris tian Eyste'r and Hk.nry Lbhman appointed Se cretarics. The mooting being thus organizod, was ad dressed by the Chair as follows: Fellow Citizens: The Constitution of our beloved country guarantees the right for the people, when they deem it proper, peaceably to assemble- and consult togethor, and adopt such measures as they may consider best calculated to promote the common good, in which is comprised tho right to select, nominate and elect the officers or agents of their choice, 1 bis privilogo is a part of the lerracy loft us by our rovored ancestors who we trust have gone to Him to reccivo that reward which is promised to those who do justly, love mercy, walk humbly, and love their neigh bors as themselves. That these privileges and principles are properly appreciated by us, and that the crisis requires activo energy to sustain them, I have the strongest evidence in the fact of thero being such a large number of my follow citizens assembled on this occasion. This meeting has not taken placo in a corner, in tho silent watches of tlio night it is in the open face of day, and in the public court houso of tho county; for which meeting, public notice has been given, not to a narty for party purposes, but to the democratic republicans to meet as a band of brothers, and calmly, and freely converse, deliberate and adopt, and firmly support such measures as will perpotuate to ns and to the rising generation, the elective trancntse, ana the other blessings of liberty and equal rights, for which our fathers fought and bled. Dare any one say to this assembly, that this right to select, nominate and elect our agents, for the purpose of currying into effect this last and bost bequest, doos not exclusively belong to the citizens of tho United States, without tho interference of any Pone, Potentate or Sovereign on earth! Great God forbid 1 Yedeparted spirits of Washington, Hancock, Jefferson, Franklin, and your vonerated compeers, forbid it! Then, my fellow citizens, let us turn our eyes on one whose capacity, experience, tried integrity, urbanity, and consistent democratic republican nrincinles and conduct, in peace and in war, point him out to be the proper person for Chief Magistrate of this nation and here I think I am anticipated when I say that William Hksry Harrison, of Ohio, is that person j and that the numberless nominations he hat rccoived in nrimary assemblies, in tho various States of the union, are strong indications that he is tho favorite candidate of the people for the presidency of the United States. To concentrate the fortie of his friends in this county; to elicit an expression of your opinion on this subject, and to take measures to carry n into eueci at me coming or next November election for the choice of electors, appoars to be the object of the present meeting. I would here, if time permitted, giro yon a narrative of facts, in relation to his nublio services, which in my opinion entitle him to publio confidence, and render him a suitable person Tor that station; out oeiieving that enouirh has been said by me for the present, and that his character and qualifications will bear tho tost of tho "scrutiny of talents and of lime," I will forbear. The subject is now before you for your consideration and action. After which John Huoiien, Esq. ono of the Vice Presidents, ofTored tho following Proamblo and resolutions: This meeting being duly impressed with a conviction, that talonls, honesty, and an ardent devotion to the publio weal, are indispensable requisites in the character of publio men: and being fully sensible, that nothing so much mili tates against a pure ana uprigni auinniisirisiiuu of Republican government, as obligations entered into by those high in authority, to consult the views and vishes of a party, rather than the interests of the whole people, they are therofore fully convinoed (hat the circumstances of the nation are sucn, as imperiously 10 can upon every lover of his country, for the exeroise of a candid and dispassionate scrutiny into the character of the sevoral candidates now in nomination for tho office of Prosidont of tho United States. Influenced by these considerations, this moot ing discover in Gon. Wat. Henry Harrison, in an eminent degree, all those qualities which fit Mm for the imnertant office of President. Tho son of a distinguished statesman and patriot of il.n ltnvnlntinn. ono of the siirners of tho Decla ration of Independence, he has been bred up in the school of pure Jell'orsonian Doinooraoy. The bias of his mind from early education, and all his associations, havo boon of tho republican east. Honored by his country, and distinguished both in hor military and civil service, tho ar chives of the Eoveroment, and tho history of the country, alike boar tostimony to tho purity of his principles, the ardour of his patriotism, and the brilliancy of bis talents. Viewed as a military commander, he is seen to be skilful, victorious, brave and humane: as a Statesman, he is able, enlightened, prudent and safe ; his country's good always being his chief aim. As a minister abroad, his course gave additional lustre to the diplomatic charactor of his country. The sumo ardent love of country and her free institutions, is equally conspicuous in Gen. Harrison, in whatevor situation he is placed. The same love of democracy which he always discovered in bis various publio employments at home, did not forsake him in a foreign land ; and is conspicu ously displayed in his controversy with liolivar, the famous dictator of Colombia. In short, in every situation which he has filled, he has acquitted himself in such manner, as to lay tho foundation of an honest pride on the part of his fellow citizens, that the Stato of Ulno is pos sessed of one so worthy of their support. Therefore be it resolved, i bat this meeting heartily approve of the nomination of General WILLIAM HENRY HRltISON,for the office of President of tho Uuitcd States, and pledge themselves to use all honorable means to insure his election. Which was read, and aftor being ably support ed by Judge Frederick, Major Bbntlky and Levi Cox, Jisqr. in very auie and eloquent speeches, each about half an hour's longth, was adopted without a dissenting voice. Hero follow resolutions for the appointment of delegates to the Uto Convention, and committees of Correspondence and Vigilance, and for the publication of the proceedings in the Ohio Slale Journal, and the papers printed in Wayno county ; which it is not deemed necessary to insert at length. REASIN BEAM., President. John Hdoiies, i Mei.cuor'Rahm, pr(ij Hugh Norton, ) II. Lehman, C. Eyster, Secretaries LETTER, Addreuedbv William II. Ilarriion.to Simon lioli var, President Liberator of Colombia, wnen 1c tea aooul to assume Despotic Power. Hooota, Sept. 20, 1820 Sir: If there is any thing in the style, the matter, or the object of this letter, which is calculated to give offence to your Excellency I am persuaded you will readily forgive it, when you reflect on tho motives which indu ced mo to write it. An old soldier could pos sess no feelings but those of the kindest cbarao ter, towards one who has shed so much lustre on tho profession of arms; nor can a citizen of the country of Washington cease to wish that, in Uolivar, the world might behold another in stance of the highest military attainments, united with tho purest patriotism, and tho greatest capacity Tor civil government. Such, sir, have been tho fond hones, not only of the people of the United States, but of the friends of liberty throughout the world. I will not say that your Excellency has formed projects to defeat these hopes. Hut, there is no doubt, that they havo not only been formed, but are, at this moment, in progress to maturity, and openly avowed by those who possess your entire confidence. I will not attribute tn these men impure motives; but can they be disinterested advisers! Are they not tho very persons who will gain most by tho proposed change! who will, indeed, gain all that is to be gamca, without furnishing any part of the equivalent! That that, tho price of llioir future wealth and honors, is to ho furnished exclusively by your-selP. And of what docs it consist! Your great character. Such a ono, that, if a man wore wise, and possessed of the Empire of the Cajsars, in its best days, he would give all to obtain. Are you prepared to mako this sacrifice, for such an ob icct! I am persuaded that those who advocate these measures, havo novor dared to induce you tu adopt them, by any argumont founded on your personal interests; and that, to succeed, it would be necessary to convince you that no other course remained to save the country from the evils of anarchy. 1 his is the question, then, to bo examined. Does the history of this country, sinco the adoption of the constitution, really exhibit unequivocal ovideoce that the people are unfit to bo free! Is the exploded opinion of a European Philosopher, of the last ago, that, "in the now hemisphere, man is a degraded being," to be rouewed and supportod by tho example or Co lombia! The proofs should, indeed, be strong, to induce an American to adopt an opinion so humiliating. Feeling always a deep interest in tho success of the revolutions in the lato Spanish America I have never been an inattcntivo observer of events, pending, and posterior to the achieve ment of its independence. In these events, search in vain for a singlo fact to show that, in Colombia at least, the stato of society is unsuit- ed to tho adoption of a froe government. Vt ill it be said that a free government did exist, but, being found inadequate to tho objects for which it had been instituted, it had been superseded by one of a different character, with a concur rence of the majority ol the pcoplo! It is the mast difficult thing in the world for me to believe that a pcoplo in the possession of their rights, as freemen, would over be willing to surrender thorn, and submit themselves to the will of a master. If any such instances are on record, the power thus transferred has been in a moment of extreme publio d.ogcr, and then limited to a very short period. I do not think that it is by any means certain, that tho majority of the French people favored the elevation of Napoleon to the throne of France. But, if it wero so, how different wore the circumstances of that country, from those of Colombia, when tho con stitution of Cucuta was overthrown. At the period of the elevation of Napoleon to tho First Consulate, all tho powers of Europe were the open or secret enemies of France; civil war raged within her borders; tho hereditary king possessod many partisans in every province; tho people, continually betrayed by the factions which murdered and succeeded each other, had imbibed a portion of their ferocity, and every town and village witnessed the indiscrim inate slauirhtorof both men and women, 01 an nartics and principles. Does tho history 01 Colombia, since the expulsion of the Spaniards, nrescnt any parallel to those scones! Her iron- tlors have never been seriously menaced no civil war raged not a partisan of the former govornmont was to be found in tho whole extent of her territory no factions contended with each other for the possession of power the exe cutive government remained in the hands of those to whom it had been commuted by me neonlo. in a fair election. In lact, no people over passed from under the yoke of a despotic government, to the onjoymont ol enure ireo-dom, with loss disposition to abuse thoir newly I .1 ..t l'..l. ..I.!., 'I'l.aa acqutruu power man musu ui u""u'" submitted, indeed, to a continuance of some of tho most arbitrary and unjust features which distinguished tho former govornmont. li more was any disposition on tho part of the groat mass of tho peoplo, to olfect any chaugo in lha ex isting order of things; if the Colombians act from the same motives and upon the same principles which govern mankind elsewhere, and in all ages; they would have desired to take from the government a part of the power, which, in their inexperience, they had confided to it. The monopoly of cortain articles of agricultural pro duce,aod the oppressive duty of the Alcavala, might have been tolerated, until the last of their tyrants were driven from the country. But when peace was restored, whon not one enemy remained within its borders, it might reasonably have been supposed that the people would have desired to abolish these remains of arbitrary government, and substitute for them some tax more equal and accordant with republican principles. On the contrary, it is pretended, lint they had become enamored with these despotic meas ores, and so disgus.tcd with the freedom they did enjoy, that they were more than willing to commit their destinies to the uncontrolled will of your Excellency, Let me assuro you, sir, that theso assertions will gain no credit with tlio present generation, or with posterity. They will demand the facts, which have induced a people, by no means doficicnt in intelligence, so soon tn abandon the principles turwich t hoy had so gallantly fought, and tamely surrender that liberty which had been obtained at the expense of so much blood. And what facts can be produced! It cannot bo said that life and property were not as well protected under the republican government, as they have over been; nor that there existed any opposition to the constitution and laws, too strung for tho ordinary powers of the Government to put down. II the insurrection ol General l'aez, in Vene zuela, is adduced, I would ask, by what means was he reduced to obedience! Your Excellency, the legitimate head of the Republic, appeared; and in a moment all opposition ceased, and Venezuela was restored to the Republic. But, it issaid, that this was effected by your person al influence, or the dread of your military talents, and that, to keep General Paez, and other ambitious chiefs, from dismembering the He- public, it was necessary to invest your Excellency with the extraordinary powers you pos sess. There would bo some reason in this, if you had rofused to act without these powers; or having acted as you did, you had been unable to accomplish any thing without them. But you succeeded, completely; and there can be no possible reasun assigned, why you. wuuld not have succeeded, with tho same means, against any future attempt of General Paez, or any other General. There appears, however, to bo ono sentiment, in which all parties unite; that is, that as matters now stand, you alone can savo the country from ruin, at least from much calamity. They differ, however, very widely as to the measures to be taken to put your Excellency in the way to rondor this important service. The lesser, and more interested party, is fur placing the Government in your hands for life; either with your present title, or with ono which, it must be confo sod, betterJ accords with the nature of tho powors to bo exorcised. If they adopt the loss offensive title, and ifthey weave into their system soino apparent checks to your will, it is only for tho purposo of masking, in some degree, their real object; which is nothing short of the establishment of a despot ism. Tho plea of necessity, that eternal argument ol nil conspirators, ancient or modern, against the rights of mankind, will bo resorted to, to induca vou to accedo to their measures: and tho unset tled stato of the country, which has been designedly produced by them, will bo adduced as evidence ol that necessity. Thero is but ono way for your ExcsUcncy to escape from tho snares which have bean so artfully laid tu entrap you ; and Unit is, to slop short in tho course which, unfortunately, has been already commenced. Every step ynu advanco untbr the influence of such councils, will mako retreat more difficult, until it shall become iinpracticiblo. You will bo told that the intention is only to vest you with authority to correct what is wrong in the Administration, and to put down tho factions, and that, when tho country once enjoys tranquillity, the Government may bo restored to the people. Do- lusivo will be the hopes ot tlinso who rely upon this declaration. 1 ho promised hour ot tranquillity will never arrive. If events tended to produce it, they would aa counteracted uy tuo uovcrnment itself. It was the strong remark of a former Pro sidont of the United States, that, "sooner will tho lover be contented with tho first smiles ot his mis tress, than a Government cease to endeavor to prcsorvo and extend its powors." With whatever reluctance your r.xcolloncy may commence the career; with whatever disposition to abandon it when tho objects tor which it was commenced havo been obtained; when onco lairly entered you will be homo along by tho irresistiblo forco of pride, habit ol command, and nana lorsou-preservation, and it will be impossiblo to recede. But it is said, that it is tor tho benefit ot tlio people that the proposed chango is to be made; and that by your tnlontB and influonco alono, aided by unlimited power, tho ambitious duels in tne uit-ferent departments nro to bo restrained, and the integrity ot tho Republic preserved. 1 havo said, and I most sincerely believe, that from the state into which tho country his been brought, that you nlnno can preserve it from tho horrors of anarchy. But I cannot concbivo that nny extraordinary powers are necessary. The authority to see that tho laws arc executed; to call out tho strength of tho r-nuntrv tn enforce their execution, is all that is rpnuircd.and is what Is possessed by the Chief fust Magistrate of the United Slates and of evory other Republic; and is what was confided to tho Execu tive, by the Constitution of Cucuta. Would your talents or your energies be impaired in tho council or tho field, or your influonco lessened, when acting as tho head ot a Kopublic. 1 propose to examine, very oricuy, tno results which aro likely to flow from tho proposed change of government: 1st, in relation to the country; and, 2d, to yourself personally, is tlie tranquillity ot tho country to be secured by it! Is it possible for your Excellency to bolicvo, that when tho mask has been thrown off, and tho people discover that a despotic government has boon fixed upon them, that tney will quiotiy suumii io m win iney forget the pass-word, which, like the cross of fire, was tho signal (or rallying to oppose their former tyrants! Will the virgins, at your bidding, coaso to chant tho songs of Liborty, which oo lately animated the youth to victory.' Was tho patriotic blood of Colombia all expended in tho fields ofVnr- ras, Ilayacn, ond Carabobo! The schools may coaso to enforce upon their pupils tho lovo of country, drawn from the examples of Cato and the Bruti.Harinodius mid Aristogiton, but the glorious example of patriotic devotion, exhibited in your own Hacienda, will supply thoir placo. Depend on it, sir, that tho moment which shall onnounco tho continuance of arbitrary power in your hands, will bo tho commencement of commo tions wmcn win require mi your laionis aim uuur-rrics to suppress. You may succeod. Tho disci plined army at your disposal may bo too powerful for an unarmed, undisciplined, and scattered pop ulation: but one unsuceosslul cuort will not con tent them, and your feelings will bo eternally racked by being obliged to mako war upon those causo but their adherence to principles which you yourself had taught them to regard moro than their lives. If by the strong government which the advocates for tho proposed chango so strenuously recommend, one without responsibility is intended, which may put men to death, and immuro them in Uunraons without trial, and one where the army is every tiling and tho people nothing, I must say, tlutiftha tranquillity of Colombia is to be preserved in this way, tho wildest anarchy would be preferable. Uut ot that anarchy a better government might arise; but the chains of military despotism onco fastened upon a nation, ages might pass away before they could ba shaken off. But 1 contend that tho strongest of governments is that which is most free. We consider that of! tho United States as the strongest, precisely, because it is tho most free. It possesses the faculties, equally to protect itself from fordign force or internal convulsion. In both, it has been suffi ciently tried. In no country upon earth would an armed opposition to tho laws bo sooner or more effectually put down. Not so much by tho terrors of tho guillotine and gibbet as from tho aroused de-term inntion of the nation, exhibiting their strength, and convincing tho factious that their causo was hopelen. No, sir, depend upon it, that tho possession of arbitrary power by the government ot Colombia, will not be tho moans of securing its tranquillity; nor will the danger of disturbances sulely arise from the opposition ot tho people. 1 he power, and the military force which it will be necessary to put into the haiuls ol tho Governors ot distant prov inces, ndded to fho nature of the country, will con tinually present to those officers tho temptation and tho means d revolt. Will the proposed changes restore prosperity to the country! With the best intentions to do so, will yoi be able to recall commerce to its shores, a nl givo new life to tho drooping slate of agriculture! Tho cause of the constant decline in these great interests, cannot be mistaken. Itarisos from tho fewness of those who labor, and tho number of those to bo sup ported by that labor. To support a swarm of idle and luxurious monks, and an army greatly dispropnrtioned to the resources of tho country, with a body ofofficers, in tenfold degree dispro-portioned to ho army, every branch of industry is oppressed jvith burdens which deprivo the in genious inau if tlio profits ol Ins ingenuity, and the laborer dl hi; reward, lusatislylho con stant and prissing demands which are made up on it, the 'treasury seizes, upon every thing within Its rf asp destroying tho very germ of future prosieruy. is there any prospect mat theso evils fill ceaso with the proposed change! Can the arily bo disponsed with! Will the in fluence of tie monks be no longer necessary! Belicvo mel sir, that tho support which the Government deli ved from both sources, will be more than ever (equisitc. But the tost important inquiry is, the effect which thisltrong government is to havo upon the pcoplelhcinsclvcs. Will it tend to improve and clcvalf their character, and fit them for the freedom wich it is pretended is ultimately to be bestowed jpon thorn! The question has been answered from the age of Homer. Man docs not learn indor oppression those noblo qualilios and feeling which fit him for the enjoyment of liberty. .Nor is despotism the proper school in which to acquire the knowledge of tho principles of Republican government. A government whose revenues are derived from diverting the very sources of wealth from its subjects, will not find tho means of improving tho morals and enliirhtcniiig tho minds oflho y outh, by support ing systems of liberal education; and il U could, it would not In relation to the effect which this investment of piiivor is to havo upon your happiness and tout fame, will the pump and glitter of a court, and tlio flattery of venal courtiers, reward you for the troubles and anxieties r.ttcndaiit upon the exerciso of sovereignty every where, and those which will flow from your peculiar situa tion! Or power, supported by the bayonet, for that willing homago which you wero wont to re- ceivo from your fellow cilizens! Tho groans of an oppressed and dissatishcd pcoplo will pone tralo tho inmost recesses of your palace, and you will be tortured by the reflection, that you no longer possess mat piaco sis iiiuir uuucuoii, which was once your pride and boast, and whicl would havo been your solaco under every ro verso of fortune. Unsupported by the people your authority can bo itnintaincd only by the terrors of tho sword and the scaffold. And havo these ever been successful under similar cir cumstances! Blood may smother, for a period hut can never extiiiEtiish tho fire of Liberty which roil havo contributed so much to kindle in tho bosom of ever Colombian. 1 will not ureo, as an argument, the personal dnngen to whioh you will bo exposed. Hut I will ask if you could enjoy a life, which would bo preserved by tho constant execution of so many human beings, your countrymon, your former friends and almost your worshipers. The pangs of such a situation will he made more acute, by reflecting on the hallowed motive of many of those who would aim their dagger at your bosom, That like tho last of the Romans, they would striko, ' not from hatred to the man, but lovo to tho country.' . Frsm a knowledge nf your own disposition, and prcsout feelings, your Excellency will not be willing to believe, that you could ever be be found; and Colombia would soon exhibit tho reality of tho beautiful fiction of Fcnelon Sa-lentuin rising from misory and oppression, to prosperity and happiness, under the council and direction of the concealed goddess. What objections can be urged against this course! Can any one, acquainted with the circumstances of tho country, doubt its success, in restoring and maintaining tranquillity! The people would cortaiuly not revolt against them selves; and nono of the chiefs who are supposed to be factiously inclined, would think of opposing the strength of the nation, when directed by your talents and authority. But it is said, that the want of intelligence amongst the people unfits thorn for their own Government. Is it not right, however, that the experiment should be fairly tried! I have already said that this has uut been dune. For myself, I do not hesitate todeclaro in y firm belief that il will succeed. The people of Colombia possess many traits of character suitable for a Republican Government. A more orderly, forbearing, and well-disposed peoplo aro no where to be met with. Indoed.it may safely be asserted, that their faults and vicos are attributed to the curs ed government to which thoy havo been so long s ihjccted, and to the intolorant character of their religion, while their virtues aro all their own. But admitting their present wantof intelligence, no one has ever doubled their capacity to acquire knowledge, and under the strong motives which exist tu obtain it, supported by tho influonco of your Excelleucy, it would soon bo obtained.To yourself, the advantage of a freo Govern ment would bo as great as to tho country; I ke acls of mercy, the blessings would bo reciproca ted; your personal happiness secured, and your famo elevated to a height which would leave hut a single competition in the estimation of posterity. In bestowing the palm of merit, the world has become wiser than formerly. Tho successful warrior is no longor icgardcd as entitled to the first pluce in tho temple of Fame. Talonls of this kind havo become too common, and loo often used for mischievous purposes, to be regarded as they onco were. In this onlight-cned age, the mere hero of the field, and the successful leader of armies, may fur tho moment attract attention; but it will bo such as is bestowed upon tho passing meteor, whose blaze is no longer remembered when it is no longer seen. To bo esteemed eminently great, it is necessary to be eminently good. The qualities of the hero and the genoral must be devoted to the advantage of mankind, before he will bo permitted to assume tho title of their benefactor; and the station which ho will bold in their regard and affections, will depend, not upon the number and the splendor of his victories, but upon tho results and the use he may make of the influence bo acquires from them. If tho fame of our Washington depended up on his military achievements, would the common consontof tho world allow him tho pre-emi nence ho possesses! The victories at Trenton, .Monmouth and York, brilliant as Ihey wore, exhibiting, as they certainly did, the highest grade of military talents, aro scarcely thought of. The source of tho veneration and esteem which is entertained for his charactor, bv every de scription of politicians the monarchist and aristocrat, as well as the republican is to be found in his tindeviating and exclusive devoted-ncss to tho interest of his country. No selfish consideration was ever suffered to intrude itself into his mind. For his country he conquered and the uurivaled and increasing prosperity of tint country was constantly adding fresh glory to his name. General; the course which he pursued is open to you, and it deponds upon yourself to attain the cminciico which ho has reached beloro you. To the eyes of military men, the laurels you won on the fields of Vargas, Bayaca.and Carabobo, will bo forever green; but will that content you! Aro you willing that your name should docond to posterity, amongst tho mass of those whoso tamo has been derived irom sneuuing mi- mau blood, without a single advantage to the human race! Or shall it bo united lo that of Washington, as tho founder and father of a great and happy peoplo! The choico is bofore you.

GREAT HARRISON MEETING. At a moeliwr of the friends of General VM H. HAltltliSON, held in the Court House in Woostcr, on Saturday the Mthday of February Qeneral Rkasin Hhall was called to tho Chair John Hughes, Mbi.chkii Uaiim and lluuii Nor ton, I2sqrs.,were chosen Assistants, and Chris tian Eyste'r and Hk.nry Lbhman appointed Se cretarics. The mooting being thus organizod, was ad dressed by the Chair as follows: Fellow Citizens: The Constitution of our beloved country guarantees the right for the people, when they deem it proper, peaceably to assemble- and consult togethor, and adopt such measures as they may consider best calculated to promote the common good, in which is comprised tho right to select, nominate and elect the officers or agents of their choice, 1 bis privilogo is a part of the lerracy loft us by our rovored ancestors who we trust have gone to Him to reccivo that reward which is promised to those who do justly, love mercy, walk humbly, and love their neigh bors as themselves. That these privileges and principles are properly appreciated by us, and that the crisis requires activo energy to sustain them, I have the strongest evidence in the fact of thero being such a large number of my follow citizens assembled on this occasion. This meeting has not taken placo in a corner, in tho silent watches of tlio night it is in the open face of day, and in the public court houso of tho county; for which meeting, public notice has been given, not to a narty for party purposes, but to the democratic republicans to meet as a band of brothers, and calmly, and freely converse, deliberate and adopt, and firmly support such measures as will perpotuate to ns and to the rising generation, the elective trancntse, ana the other blessings of liberty and equal rights, for which our fathers fought and bled. Dare any one say to this assembly, that this right to select, nominate and elect our agents, for the purpose of currying into effect this last and bost bequest, doos not exclusively belong to the citizens of tho United States, without tho interference of any Pone, Potentate or Sovereign on earth! Great God forbid 1 Yedeparted spirits of Washington, Hancock, Jefferson, Franklin, and your vonerated compeers, forbid it! Then, my fellow citizens, let us turn our eyes on one whose capacity, experience, tried integrity, urbanity, and consistent democratic republican nrincinles and conduct, in peace and in war, point him out to be the proper person for Chief Magistrate of this nation and here I think I am anticipated when I say that William Hksry Harrison, of Ohio, is that person j and that the numberless nominations he hat rccoived in nrimary assemblies, in tho various States of the union, are strong indications that he is tho favorite candidate of the people for the presidency of the United States. To concentrate the fortie of his friends in this county; to elicit an expression of your opinion on this subject, and to take measures to carry n into eueci at me coming or next November election for the choice of electors, appoars to be the object of the present meeting. I would here, if time permitted, giro yon a narrative of facts, in relation to his nublio services, which in my opinion entitle him to publio confidence, and render him a suitable person Tor that station; out oeiieving that enouirh has been said by me for the present, and that his character and qualifications will bear tho tost of tho "scrutiny of talents and of lime," I will forbear. The subject is now before you for your consideration and action. After which John Huoiien, Esq. ono of the Vice Presidents, ofTored tho following Proamblo and resolutions: This meeting being duly impressed with a conviction, that talonls, honesty, and an ardent devotion to the publio weal, are indispensable requisites in the character of publio men: and being fully sensible, that nothing so much mili tates against a pure ana uprigni auinniisirisiiuu of Republican government, as obligations entered into by those high in authority, to consult the views and vishes of a party, rather than the interests of the whole people, they are therofore fully convinoed (hat the circumstances of the nation are sucn, as imperiously 10 can upon every lover of his country, for the exeroise of a candid and dispassionate scrutiny into the character of the sevoral candidates now in nomination for tho office of Prosidont of tho United States. Influenced by these considerations, this moot ing discover in Gon. Wat. Henry Harrison, in an eminent degree, all those qualities which fit Mm for the imnertant office of President. Tho son of a distinguished statesman and patriot of il.n ltnvnlntinn. ono of the siirners of tho Decla ration of Independence, he has been bred up in the school of pure Jell'orsonian Doinooraoy. The bias of his mind from early education, and all his associations, havo boon of tho republican east. Honored by his country, and distinguished both in hor military and civil service, tho ar chives of the Eoveroment, and tho history of the country, alike boar tostimony to tho purity of his principles, the ardour of his patriotism, and the brilliancy of bis talents. Viewed as a military commander, he is seen to be skilful, victorious, brave and humane: as a Statesman, he is able, enlightened, prudent and safe ; his country's good always being his chief aim. As a minister abroad, his course gave additional lustre to the diplomatic charactor of his country. The sumo ardent love of country and her free institutions, is equally conspicuous in Gen. Harrison, in whatevor situation he is placed. The same love of democracy which he always discovered in bis various publio employments at home, did not forsake him in a foreign land ; and is conspicu ously displayed in his controversy with liolivar, the famous dictator of Colombia. In short, in every situation which he has filled, he has acquitted himself in such manner, as to lay tho foundation of an honest pride on the part of his fellow citizens, that the Stato of Ulno is pos sessed of one so worthy of their support. Therefore be it resolved, i bat this meeting heartily approve of the nomination of General WILLIAM HENRY HRltISON,for the office of President of tho Uuitcd States, and pledge themselves to use all honorable means to insure his election. Which was read, and aftor being ably support ed by Judge Frederick, Major Bbntlky and Levi Cox, Jisqr. in very auie and eloquent speeches, each about half an hour's longth, was adopted without a dissenting voice. Hero follow resolutions for the appointment of delegates to the Uto Convention, and committees of Correspondence and Vigilance, and for the publication of the proceedings in the Ohio Slale Journal, and the papers printed in Wayno county ; which it is not deemed necessary to insert at length. REASIN BEAM., President. John Hdoiies, i Mei.cuor'Rahm, pr(ij Hugh Norton, ) II. Lehman, C. Eyster, Secretaries LETTER, Addreuedbv William II. Ilarriion.to Simon lioli var, President Liberator of Colombia, wnen 1c tea aooul to assume Despotic Power. Hooota, Sept. 20, 1820 Sir: If there is any thing in the style, the matter, or the object of this letter, which is calculated to give offence to your Excellency I am persuaded you will readily forgive it, when you reflect on tho motives which indu ced mo to write it. An old soldier could pos sess no feelings but those of the kindest cbarao ter, towards one who has shed so much lustre on tho profession of arms; nor can a citizen of the country of Washington cease to wish that, in Uolivar, the world might behold another in stance of the highest military attainments, united with tho purest patriotism, and tho greatest capacity Tor civil government. Such, sir, have been tho fond hones, not only of the people of the United States, but of the friends of liberty throughout the world. I will not say that your Excellency has formed projects to defeat these hopes. Hut, there is no doubt, that they havo not only been formed, but are, at this moment, in progress to maturity, and openly avowed by those who possess your entire confidence. I will not attribute tn these men impure motives; but can they be disinterested advisers! Are they not tho very persons who will gain most by tho proposed change! who will, indeed, gain all that is to be gamca, without furnishing any part of the equivalent! That that, tho price of llioir future wealth and honors, is to ho furnished exclusively by your-selP. And of what docs it consist! Your great character. Such a ono, that, if a man wore wise, and possessed of the Empire of the Cajsars, in its best days, he would give all to obtain. Are you prepared to mako this sacrifice, for such an ob icct! I am persuaded that those who advocate these measures, havo novor dared to induce you tu adopt them, by any argumont founded on your personal interests; and that, to succeed, it would be necessary to convince you that no other course remained to save the country from the evils of anarchy. 1 his is the question, then, to bo examined. Does the history of this country, sinco the adoption of the constitution, really exhibit unequivocal ovideoce that the people are unfit to bo free! Is the exploded opinion of a European Philosopher, of the last ago, that, "in the now hemisphere, man is a degraded being," to be rouewed and supportod by tho example or Co lombia! The proofs should, indeed, be strong, to induce an American to adopt an opinion so humiliating. Feeling always a deep interest in tho success of the revolutions in the lato Spanish America I have never been an inattcntivo observer of events, pending, and posterior to the achieve ment of its independence. In these events, search in vain for a singlo fact to show that, in Colombia at least, the stato of society is unsuit- ed to tho adoption of a froe government. Vt ill it be said that a free government did exist, but, being found inadequate to tho objects for which it had been instituted, it had been superseded by one of a different character, with a concur rence of the majority ol the pcoplo! It is the mast difficult thing in the world for me to believe that a pcoplo in the possession of their rights, as freemen, would over be willing to surrender thorn, and submit themselves to the will of a master. If any such instances are on record, the power thus transferred has been in a moment of extreme publio d.ogcr, and then limited to a very short period. I do not think that it is by any means certain, that tho majority of the French people favored the elevation of Napoleon to the throne of France. But, if it wero so, how different wore the circumstances of that country, from those of Colombia, when tho con stitution of Cucuta was overthrown. At the period of the elevation of Napoleon to tho First Consulate, all tho powers of Europe were the open or secret enemies of France; civil war raged within her borders; tho hereditary king possessod many partisans in every province; tho people, continually betrayed by the factions which murdered and succeeded each other, had imbibed a portion of their ferocity, and every town and village witnessed the indiscrim inate slauirhtorof both men and women, 01 an nartics and principles. Does tho history 01 Colombia, since the expulsion of the Spaniards, nrescnt any parallel to those scones! Her iron- tlors have never been seriously menaced no civil war raged not a partisan of the former govornmont was to be found in tho whole extent of her territory no factions contended with each other for the possession of power the exe cutive government remained in the hands of those to whom it had been commuted by me neonlo. in a fair election. In lact, no people over passed from under the yoke of a despotic government, to the onjoymont ol enure ireo-dom, with loss disposition to abuse thoir newly I .1 ..t l'..l. ..I.!., 'I'l.aa acqutruu power man musu ui u""u'" submitted, indeed, to a continuance of some of tho most arbitrary and unjust features which distinguished tho former govornmont. li more was any disposition on tho part of the groat mass of tho peoplo, to olfect any chaugo in lha ex isting order of things; if the Colombians act from the same motives and upon the same principles which govern mankind elsewhere, and in all ages; they would have desired to take from the government a part of the power, which, in their inexperience, they had confided to it. The monopoly of cortain articles of agricultural pro duce,aod the oppressive duty of the Alcavala, might have been tolerated, until the last of their tyrants were driven from the country. But when peace was restored, whon not one enemy remained within its borders, it might reasonably have been supposed that the people would have desired to abolish these remains of arbitrary government, and substitute for them some tax more equal and accordant with republican principles. On the contrary, it is pretended, lint they had become enamored with these despotic meas ores, and so disgus.tcd with the freedom they did enjoy, that they were more than willing to commit their destinies to the uncontrolled will of your Excellency, Let me assuro you, sir, that theso assertions will gain no credit with tlio present generation, or with posterity. They will demand the facts, which have induced a people, by no means doficicnt in intelligence, so soon tn abandon the principles turwich t hoy had so gallantly fought, and tamely surrender that liberty which had been obtained at the expense of so much blood. And what facts can be produced! It cannot bo said that life and property were not as well protected under the republican government, as they have over been; nor that there existed any opposition to the constitution and laws, too strung for tho ordinary powers of the Government to put down. II the insurrection ol General l'aez, in Vene zuela, is adduced, I would ask, by what means was he reduced to obedience! Your Excellency, the legitimate head of the Republic, appeared; and in a moment all opposition ceased, and Venezuela was restored to the Republic. But, it issaid, that this was effected by your person al influence, or the dread of your military talents, and that, to keep General Paez, and other ambitious chiefs, from dismembering the He- public, it was necessary to invest your Excellency with the extraordinary powers you pos sess. There would bo some reason in this, if you had rofused to act without these powers; or having acted as you did, you had been unable to accomplish any thing without them. But you succeeded, completely; and there can be no possible reasun assigned, why you. wuuld not have succeeded, with tho same means, against any future attempt of General Paez, or any other General. There appears, however, to bo ono sentiment, in which all parties unite; that is, that as matters now stand, you alone can savo the country from ruin, at least from much calamity. They differ, however, very widely as to the measures to be taken to put your Excellency in the way to rondor this important service. The lesser, and more interested party, is fur placing the Government in your hands for life; either with your present title, or with ono which, it must be confo sod, betterJ accords with the nature of tho powors to bo exorcised. If they adopt the loss offensive title, and ifthey weave into their system soino apparent checks to your will, it is only for tho purposo of masking, in some degree, their real object; which is nothing short of the establishment of a despot ism. Tho plea of necessity, that eternal argument ol nil conspirators, ancient or modern, against the rights of mankind, will bo resorted to, to induca vou to accedo to their measures: and tho unset tled stato of the country, which has been designedly produced by them, will bo adduced as evidence ol that necessity. Thero is but ono way for your ExcsUcncy to escape from tho snares which have bean so artfully laid tu entrap you ; and Unit is, to slop short in tho course which, unfortunately, has been already commenced. Every step ynu advanco untbr the influence of such councils, will mako retreat more difficult, until it shall become iinpracticiblo. You will bo told that the intention is only to vest you with authority to correct what is wrong in the Administration, and to put down tho factions, and that, when tho country once enjoys tranquillity, the Government may bo restored to the people. Do- lusivo will be the hopes ot tlinso who rely upon this declaration. 1 ho promised hour ot tranquillity will never arrive. If events tended to produce it, they would aa counteracted uy tuo uovcrnment itself. It was the strong remark of a former Pro sidont of the United States, that, "sooner will tho lover be contented with tho first smiles ot his mis tress, than a Government cease to endeavor to prcsorvo and extend its powors." With whatever reluctance your r.xcolloncy may commence the career; with whatever disposition to abandon it when tho objects tor which it was commenced havo been obtained; when onco lairly entered you will be homo along by tho irresistiblo forco of pride, habit ol command, and nana lorsou-preservation, and it will be impossiblo to recede. But it is said, that it is tor tho benefit ot tlio people that the proposed chango is to be made; and that by your tnlontB and influonco alono, aided by unlimited power, tho ambitious duels in tne uit-ferent departments nro to bo restrained, and the integrity ot tho Republic preserved. 1 havo said, and I most sincerely believe, that from the state into which tho country his been brought, that you nlnno can preserve it from tho horrors of anarchy. But I cannot concbivo that nny extraordinary powers are necessary. The authority to see that tho laws arc executed; to call out tho strength of tho r-nuntrv tn enforce their execution, is all that is rpnuircd.and is what Is possessed by the Chief fust Magistrate of the United Slates and of evory other Republic; and is what was confided to tho Execu tive, by the Constitution of Cucuta. Would your talents or your energies be impaired in tho council or tho field, or your influonco lessened, when acting as tho head ot a Kopublic. 1 propose to examine, very oricuy, tno results which aro likely to flow from tho proposed change of government: 1st, in relation to the country; and, 2d, to yourself personally, is tlie tranquillity ot tho country to be secured by it! Is it possible for your Excellency to bolicvo, that when tho mask has been thrown off, and tho people discover that a despotic government has boon fixed upon them, that tney will quiotiy suumii io m win iney forget the pass-word, which, like the cross of fire, was tho signal (or rallying to oppose their former tyrants! Will the virgins, at your bidding, coaso to chant tho songs of Liborty, which oo lately animated the youth to victory.' Was tho patriotic blood of Colombia all expended in tho fields ofVnr- ras, Ilayacn, ond Carabobo! The schools may coaso to enforce upon their pupils tho lovo of country, drawn from the examples of Cato and the Bruti.Harinodius mid Aristogiton, but the glorious example of patriotic devotion, exhibited in your own Hacienda, will supply thoir placo. Depend on it, sir, that tho moment which shall onnounco tho continuance of arbitrary power in your hands, will bo tho commencement of commo tions wmcn win require mi your laionis aim uuur-rrics to suppress. You may succeod. Tho disci plined army at your disposal may bo too powerful for an unarmed, undisciplined, and scattered pop ulation: but one unsuceosslul cuort will not con tent them, and your feelings will bo eternally racked by being obliged to mako war upon those causo but their adherence to principles which you yourself had taught them to regard moro than their lives. If by the strong government which the advocates for tho proposed chango so strenuously recommend, one without responsibility is intended, which may put men to death, and immuro them in Uunraons without trial, and one where the army is every tiling and tho people nothing, I must say, tlutiftha tranquillity of Colombia is to be preserved in this way, tho wildest anarchy would be preferable. Uut ot that anarchy a better government might arise; but the chains of military despotism onco fastened upon a nation, ages might pass away before they could ba shaken off. But 1 contend that tho strongest of governments is that which is most free. We consider that of! tho United States as the strongest, precisely, because it is tho most free. It possesses the faculties, equally to protect itself from fordign force or internal convulsion. In both, it has been suffi ciently tried. In no country upon earth would an armed opposition to tho laws bo sooner or more effectually put down. Not so much by tho terrors of tho guillotine and gibbet as from tho aroused de-term inntion of the nation, exhibiting their strength, and convincing tho factious that their causo was hopelen. No, sir, depend upon it, that tho possession of arbitrary power by the government ot Colombia, will not be tho moans of securing its tranquillity; nor will the danger of disturbances sulely arise from the opposition ot tho people. 1 he power, and the military force which it will be necessary to put into the haiuls ol tho Governors ot distant prov inces, ndded to fho nature of the country, will con tinually present to those officers tho temptation and tho means d revolt. Will the proposed changes restore prosperity to the country! With the best intentions to do so, will yoi be able to recall commerce to its shores, a nl givo new life to tho drooping slate of agriculture! Tho cause of the constant decline in these great interests, cannot be mistaken. Itarisos from tho fewness of those who labor, and tho number of those to bo sup ported by that labor. To support a swarm of idle and luxurious monks, and an army greatly dispropnrtioned to the resources of tho country, with a body ofofficers, in tenfold degree dispro-portioned to ho army, every branch of industry is oppressed jvith burdens which deprivo the in genious inau if tlio profits ol Ins ingenuity, and the laborer dl hi; reward, lusatislylho con stant and prissing demands which are made up on it, the 'treasury seizes, upon every thing within Its rf asp destroying tho very germ of future prosieruy. is there any prospect mat theso evils fill ceaso with the proposed change! Can the arily bo disponsed with! Will the in fluence of tie monks be no longer necessary! Belicvo mel sir, that tho support which the Government deli ved from both sources, will be more than ever (equisitc. But the tost important inquiry is, the effect which thisltrong government is to havo upon the pcoplelhcinsclvcs. Will it tend to improve and clcvalf their character, and fit them for the freedom wich it is pretended is ultimately to be bestowed jpon thorn! The question has been answered from the age of Homer. Man docs not learn indor oppression those noblo qualilios and feeling which fit him for the enjoyment of liberty. .Nor is despotism the proper school in which to acquire the knowledge of tho principles of Republican government. A government whose revenues are derived from diverting the very sources of wealth from its subjects, will not find tho means of improving tho morals and enliirhtcniiig tho minds oflho y outh, by support ing systems of liberal education; and il U could, it would not In relation to the effect which this investment of piiivor is to havo upon your happiness and tout fame, will the pump and glitter of a court, and tlio flattery of venal courtiers, reward you for the troubles and anxieties r.ttcndaiit upon the exerciso of sovereignty every where, and those which will flow from your peculiar situa tion! Or power, supported by the bayonet, for that willing homago which you wero wont to re- ceivo from your fellow cilizens! Tho groans of an oppressed and dissatishcd pcoplo will pone tralo tho inmost recesses of your palace, and you will be tortured by the reflection, that you no longer possess mat piaco sis iiiuir uuucuoii, which was once your pride and boast, and whicl would havo been your solaco under every ro verso of fortune. Unsupported by the people your authority can bo itnintaincd only by the terrors of tho sword and the scaffold. And havo these ever been successful under similar cir cumstances! Blood may smother, for a period hut can never extiiiEtiish tho fire of Liberty which roil havo contributed so much to kindle in tho bosom of ever Colombian. 1 will not ureo, as an argument, the personal dnngen to whioh you will bo exposed. Hut I will ask if you could enjoy a life, which would bo preserved by tho constant execution of so many human beings, your countrymon, your former friends and almost your worshipers. The pangs of such a situation will he made more acute, by reflecting on the hallowed motive of many of those who would aim their dagger at your bosom, That like tho last of the Romans, they would striko, ' not from hatred to the man, but lovo to tho country.' . Frsm a knowledge nf your own disposition, and prcsout feelings, your Excellency will not be willing to believe, that you could ever be be found; and Colombia would soon exhibit tho reality of tho beautiful fiction of Fcnelon Sa-lentuin rising from misory and oppression, to prosperity and happiness, under the council and direction of the concealed goddess. What objections can be urged against this course! Can any one, acquainted with the circumstances of tho country, doubt its success, in restoring and maintaining tranquillity! The people would cortaiuly not revolt against them selves; and nono of the chiefs who are supposed to be factiously inclined, would think of opposing the strength of the nation, when directed by your talents and authority. But it is said, that the want of intelligence amongst the people unfits thorn for their own Government. Is it not right, however, that the experiment should be fairly tried! I have already said that this has uut been dune. For myself, I do not hesitate todeclaro in y firm belief that il will succeed. The people of Colombia possess many traits of character suitable for a Republican Government. A more orderly, forbearing, and well-disposed peoplo aro no where to be met with. Indoed.it may safely be asserted, that their faults and vicos are attributed to the curs ed government to which thoy havo been so long s ihjccted, and to the intolorant character of their religion, while their virtues aro all their own. But admitting their present wantof intelligence, no one has ever doubled their capacity to acquire knowledge, and under the strong motives which exist tu obtain it, supported by tho influonco of your Excelleucy, it would soon bo obtained.To yourself, the advantage of a freo Govern ment would bo as great as to tho country; I ke acls of mercy, the blessings would bo reciproca ted; your personal happiness secured, and your famo elevated to a height which would leave hut a single competition in the estimation of posterity. In bestowing the palm of merit, the world has become wiser than formerly. Tho successful warrior is no longor icgardcd as entitled to the first pluce in tho temple of Fame. Talonls of this kind havo become too common, and loo often used for mischievous purposes, to be regarded as they onco were. In this onlight-cned age, the mere hero of the field, and the successful leader of armies, may fur tho moment attract attention; but it will bo such as is bestowed upon tho passing meteor, whose blaze is no longer remembered when it is no longer seen. To bo esteemed eminently great, it is necessary to be eminently good. The qualities of the hero and the genoral must be devoted to the advantage of mankind, before he will bo permitted to assume tho title of their benefactor; and the station which ho will bold in their regard and affections, will depend, not upon the number and the splendor of his victories, but upon tho results and the use he may make of the influence bo acquires from them. If tho fame of our Washington depended up on his military achievements, would the common consontof tho world allow him tho pre-emi nence ho possesses! The victories at Trenton, .Monmouth and York, brilliant as Ihey wore, exhibiting, as they certainly did, the highest grade of military talents, aro scarcely thought of. The source of tho veneration and esteem which is entertained for his charactor, bv every de scription of politicians the monarchist and aristocrat, as well as the republican is to be found in his tindeviating and exclusive devoted-ncss to tho interest of his country. No selfish consideration was ever suffered to intrude itself into his mind. For his country he conquered and the uurivaled and increasing prosperity of tint country was constantly adding fresh glory to his name. General; the course which he pursued is open to you, and it deponds upon yourself to attain the cminciico which ho has reached beloro you. To the eyes of military men, the laurels you won on the fields of Vargas, Bayaca.and Carabobo, will bo forever green; but will that content you! Aro you willing that your name should docond to posterity, amongst tho mass of those whoso tamo has been derived irom sneuuing mi- mau blood, without a single advantage to the human race! Or shall it bo united lo that of Washington, as tho founder and father of a great and happy peoplo! The choico is bofore you.
